77. America is GREAT! We are all free to be who we please. That means gay, straight, perverted, and yes even stupid and ignorant. It is our legal right.

80. FIrst of all without man and woman there would be no pro creation... so how can that be normal?? It's just another sick, twisted, perverted thing people are buying into. Clearly gay people are if not mentally, sexually disturbed people!! Everyone is all up in arms when you hear about insest right??? Thats to whoever the idiot is who said.." who cares who you have sex with, if you're and adult? We care because there is right and there is wrong! A man sticking his thing in another mans *ss is cleary a perverted twisted thing to do... Are pedifiles ok too???? Hey maybe they were born that way...we are all different right, should we except that too? Cause in other countries older men can have relations with young girls and its not against the law. There are morals people.. do we remember them????????? I dont think we do. Just cause you are born a certain way doesnt mean it should always be accepted.. they say serial killers are possibly born that way also.. is that ok??

81. Sorry, correction on first sentence. "I am impressed with how they both made are commited with their beliefs." should read, I am impressed with both their commitments in their beliefs.

82. It is a proven scientific fact that there are more than 500 species of animals (counted so far) that exhibit homosexual behavior. I doubt that they had a "choice" in the matter and "decided" to be gay.... it's more like GOD CREATED THEM THAT WAY! To the Christian Conservatives (who have the highest divorce rate in the country and buy more porn per capita than any other group).... TAKE YOUR HEADS OUT OF YOUR ASSES and STOP JUDGING PEOPLE!

83. We are military - we do not want to come home too early! Do the job RIGHT the first time!! Do we want 911 to happen again!! Do we forget to fast! We didn't care when the The Embassy was Bombed or even the the USS Cole because that only happened to the military - well a 911 will happen again! I don't care about gay marriage. Let God deal with that or the American People - let them vote it in or not - but we seem to be to stupid!! Change - can you tell me what that means FIRST!
Thanks

84. Poor Larry! He thinks that all gay's do is have gay sex? Has he ever heard of LOVE, COMMITMENT, TOGETHERNESS, DEVOTION, PASSION, FRIENDSHIP? Hummmm, kind of like when a man and woman get married! What a ignorant loser!

85. Ellen stated her position beautifully, I would bet that McCain left the show and thought about what she said to him. We are all created equal and its time our government treated each and eveyone of us that way. Your ROCK Ellen!

86. Larry, I understand most of what you are saying but also you make it sound as if it is a curse to wake up being black every morning. I dont know if thats how you meant it though.I dont agree with the homosexual lifestyle I think its strange, but I do think the majority is born like that for whatever reason,, the others maybe molested and traumitized I dont know.I dont like the idea of gay " marriage" but maybe some sort of legal partnership.I have know some gays that are devoted to each other and if they are in a stable relationship wouldnt that be better for children then being in a childrens home or orphanage ?Not all gays should raise children but neither should all straights. But I dont like the gays/minorities that use the minority card.

87. Please educate yourselves!!! John McCain is an intelligent thoughtful man that is very deserving of the title President. If anyone thinks that we are going to get out of Iraq and everything is going to be sunshine and roses, you are crazy! It will create a huge humantarian crisis in the middle east among other things. I don't like what has happened and I do not entirely trust the current administration. However, you have to also look at what this administration has done to McCain over the years. He certainly isn't another George Bush. He is also very realistic about what is facing us and one way or another we will be in Iraq. We can bring the soldiers home and then send them back or just leave them until we can get stabilization there, which could take 100 years. War is a fact of life and to maintain freedom or achieve the results we want, we often have to fight. Just like Ellen is trying to do for gay marriage. People who claim to be a democrat because they don't like war or don't like George bush, or even base their opinion on one issue like gay marriage are just plain ignorant. It's a good thing I don't alienate people because of their sexual orientation!

88. While I do love Ellen and admire her as a person, I am with McCain on this and I WILL be voting for him in November. Oh yeah... GEORGE BUSH ROCKS!

89. Did John McCain go on Ellen to listen to her whine about not being able to be "married" to her girlfriend? I doubt it. Why do democrats have to be such whiners all the time.

90. Hats off to (both) Ellen and John McCain for being transparent and forthright with each other. It takes great courage to be age 70+ and be confronted by Ellen (who most of us adore)!

With the State of California Supreme Court decision, Ellen and others will be able to marry soon; however, our country is heading for a deepening recession and we need a solid leader with "experience" and cannot afford a give-a-way program (domestically or internationally) right now.

You don't throw the "older babies with wisdom out with the bath water" at this critical time.
